Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Instruments in Indonesia

Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is increasing in Indonesia. Appropriate measurement is needed to understand the NSSI characteristics deeply; however, documentation of NSSI measurements used in Indonesia is still limited. This scoping review aims to identify instruments for measuring NSSI in the Indonesian population, evaluate the completeness of reported psychometric properties, and provide recommendations for future use. Three databases (Garuda, Onesearch.id, Neliti) were searched using the PRISMA-ScR framework. The finding indicates that six instruments have been used, with ISAS and SHI standing out for their more comprehensive psychometric reporting. One locally developed instrument was identified, but limited documentation of its adaptation process hindered further evaluation. These findings imply a need for increased attention to the psychometric reporting of NSSI instruments in Indonesia to inform future efforts to adapt or develop culturally appropriate tools, while also encouraging collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to address these gaps.
